Allah سبحانه وتعالى Splendour
Allah سبحانه وتعالى is able to make the impossible, possible. His splendour is very lofty. Nothing is impossible for Him. The servant considers himself unworthy and unable to became a Wali (saint) of Allah. Some individual's condition is so critical that they regard themselves unable to abstain from sins.
I take an oath and swear by Allah سبحانه وتعالى that the day Allah سبحانه وتعالى displays His grace and favour, the day Allah سبحانه وتعالى decision for one's guidance is made, one will wonder how this mouse has been transformed into a lion. This cowardly fox has become a brave lion.
Allah سبحانه وتعالى splendour is extremely lofty. He creates a sun out of an atom and causes the very sun to become eclipsed. He has the power to illuminate an atom in keeping with the radiance of the sun and He has the power to envelope the sun in an eclipse thereby depriving the world of its brilliant light.

What to do at the Time of Natural Catastrophes by Shaykh Mawlānā Muhammad Saleem Dhorat hafizahullāh Everyone is aware of the devastation that natural disasters bring with them. Many lose their lives, hundreds of thousands lose relatives, entire communities are wiped out and countless buildings and properties are destroyed. Thousands, even millions are left homeless, having lost everything they once owned, living under open skies with nothing to eat and cover themselves with. Even after the calamity has subsided, the death toll continues to increase with the spread of disease. When calamities strike, we often think about our roles and responsibilities, as human beings and as Muslims. It is unfortunate that for most of us, it takes such calamities to make us reflect on the Power and lofty Attributes of Allāh taālā. Rather than expressing shallow sorrow and a momentary shock, there are a few points that we need to reflect and act upon, so that events like these can cause us to become better Muslims for the rest of our lives: 1. Allāh taālā is the Hākim (The Supreme Ruler) and the Hakīm (The Most Wise) First of all, one has to reaffirm in ones mind and heart that whatever happens, whether good or bad in appearance, is according to the Wish of Allāh taālā. Allāh taālā is Hākim i.e. He has Power over everything. Every single particle in the whole universe is under His Control. The turning of the leaf in the air while it is falling from the tree, to the up turning and shaking of the earth itself, as in the case of an earthquake, everything is in His Absolute Control. The commands, wishes and controls of everyone else are subjugated to His Command and Governance. The varied circumstances that one observes or experiences in ones life are also in His total Control.

IN THE COURT OF ALLAH O' dear servant I've been expecting you, come a bit closer so I can deal with you, Is it true what the angels say,that your scroll of bad deeds heavily outweighs? [color=#0000FF]O' Allah let me explain, it is true many of thy commandments I did break, I wore a Muslim badge, but only by name, ignorance of thy faith I did display, I laughed and jeered, at thy servants who refrained on earth,

Shaykh Saadi (rah) says, Allah سبحانه وتعالى provides such sustenance and rozi (sustenance) to simple-minded people, which astound many a great intellectual. Such people think,
"I have acquired an MSc., I have a degree acquired at Oxford and Harvard but am walking around in tatters, I am unemployed while this person who is unable to sign his own name, who resorts to signing with an 'x', owns an entire factory"
I personally have seen such factory owners who have not even passed their basic primary education but who have graduates as their employees. Remember my friends, rizq (sustenance) is totally is the control of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and is independent of intelligence.

Shaykh Rumi (rah) has expressed: O people of the world! Jalal ud Deen Rumi has dug in his heels and lowered his head. Do not cast my feet in chains. Do not ensnare my feet with worldly chains. Those who breed animals are well aware that when an animal lowers its head and digs in its hooves it is calling upon and compounding its reserve strength. Ask the breeders of animals what an apt simile Shaykh Rumi (rah) has drawn in this example. He is saying, "I have lowered my head and dug in my heels, I now want to free myself from worldly chains. Now, release my feet, O worshippers of the world, for I do not have the capacity to understand your talk and speech. Do not advise me anymore. Do not ask me that by becoming a total Mullah (Allah Servant), from where will I eat. O worshippers of the world this fool will insha-Allah (Allah willing) receive such rozi (sustenance) which cannot be acquired by great intellectuals. That which you regard as stupidity is the essence of intelligence." Stupid and foolish are those who have displeased Allah سبحانه وتعالى in spite of which they attribute intelligence to themselves. They are not intelligent but shrewd. Sustenance is not acquired by shrewdness or intelligence but by the fadl (grace) and bounty of Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Some simple-minded people are given rozi (sustenance) in such excess that great intellectuals, people of wisdom are dumbfounded.

A Maturing Connection Shaykh Shah Abdul Ghani (RA) used to say, "When Allah سبحانه وتعالى attracts someone, his own heart will come to the conclusion and bear testimony to the fact that Allah سبحانه وتعالى wants him. When this realisation dawns, even if he desires not to go and read Salaah, he will become restless to do so. Even if he decides to stay away from the company of the Ahlullah (saints), his heart will become constricted, he will feel disturbed and restless". Shaykh Kwaaja Aziz ul Hasan Majzoub (RA) while in Jhounpur, India, asked Shaykh Ashraf Ali Thaanwi (RA), "Shaykh, when someone becomes a Wali (saint) and is being made jazb (attracted), is he aware of this?" Shaykh Ashraf Ali Thaanwi (RA) replied, "Kwaaja Sahib when you matured, did you realise your maturity or did you have to ask your friends?"

It is required of us to humble ourselves and cry in the court of Allah سبحانه وتعالى: "O Allah, in the battle against the nafs (base desires) and Shaitaan I am repeatedly defeated, this is an indication of my gradual weakening. When a child is beaten by his stronger apponents, his abba (father) takes pity on him, his mercy then comes to the fore. You are our Rabba, our Creator, Nourisher and Sustainer, please display Your Mercy on us. How long will we allow ourselves to remain entangled in a life of decadent sin? Let it not be that death finds us in such a state, which will cause our akhirat (hereafter) to be destroyed. O'Allah, Your mercy infinitely exceeds the kindness and mercy of parents. You have allowed one hundredth of Your mercy to descend into this world, that one hundredth has been distributed throughout the creation. It is by this mercy that parents express kindness and compassion for their children, by which animals care for and rear their young, by which people love each other. This mercy prompts a mother to breastfeed her baby which a father slogs to provide and fend for his flock. When this is the extent of a single percent of your mercy, O You Who possess unlimited and infinite mercy, please manifest a degree of that mercy upon us so that thereby You release us from slavery of nafs (base desire) and Shaitaan, so that we become your slaves." [b]Aameen [/i]

Friends! I am addressing you with a heart filled with pain. What I am presenting you with is the epitome, the summary, and the essence of my seventeen years of service to Shaykh Shah Abdul Ghani r.a. It is not something acquired at ease. It is by the blessing and Grace of Allah سبحانه وتعالى Now! Nowhere does my gaze roam. On nobody does my gaze fall - now. Engrossed and effaced I stand in the court of beauty. Another sign is that one remains engrossed and intoxicated in the remembrance of Allah سبحانه وتعالى One's gaze does not fall on the helpless beggars that are His creation but falls on Him who satisfies the needs of all beggars. One does not look at Layla but at him who endowed Layla with beauty. One does not look with longing at wealth but remains absorbed with Him who enriches the wealthy. One, in short, becomes independent of the entire creation. Whether it is the universe of beauty, wealth, power or fame, one restricts the entry of such mortals to within the precincts of one's heart. What sign will be mortals to within one's heart. What sign will be manifested in one who has been attracted by Allah? In the words of manifested in one who has been attracted by Allah? In the words of Khwaaja Aziz ul Hazan Majzoub r.a. this will be one's condition. Whose coming has caused the brilliance of the gathering to diminish?
